Yakima vs Thule vs Sportrack

New member
I'm looking for a removable basket for my TE that mounts to the factory rails/crossbars. I'm aware of the weight limitations but a permanent rack like a Baja or Gobi isn't an option for me because of clearance issues in my parking garage (with my lift I have about 2" of clearance left). I'm looking for something easy to attach and remove that I can mount a Hi-Lift, shovel, and strap on a couple jerry cans for trail runs or long trips. Any info or pros/cons would be appreciated.

The gobi Stealth is actually shorter in height than the Yakima Loadwarrior.

You're not going to fit, the loadwarrior is 6 1/2 inches tall.

The biggest pro to the yakima vs the gobi is the cost of accessories. I know their not as well made, but yakimas shovel mount is $20 and gobi's is $140.

My plan is to only attach the rack outside the garage when I need it. The rest of the time the rack will be stored. So I'd be pulling out of the garage to attach the rack, then removing it when I get back before pulling in. I live in a condo with underground parking and nearby street parking isn't really an option for me.
